Pullulan dialdehyde crosslinked gelatin hydrogels with high strength for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: The result from MTT assay demonstrated that G-PDA is non-cytotoxic against MC3T3 cells, regardless of the concentrations of PDA, suggesting that the synergistic effect of dual-crosslinking may played a key role in enhancing the load-bearing capacity of ensuing hydrogels.

Pullulan-based nanocomposite films for functional food packaging: Exploiting lysozyme nanofibers as antibacterial and antioxidant reinforcing additives
TL;DR: In this paper, pullulan and Lysozyme nanofibers (LNFs) were incorporated into the PL matrix to maintain the filmogenic ability of PL and endowed the nanocomposite films with good mechanical properties.

Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
TL;DR: The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of polymer dissolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a general overview of several aspects of the dissolution of amorphous polymers is provided, including experimentally observed dissolution phenomena and mechanisms reported to this date, solubility behavior of polymers and their solvents, models used to interpret and understand polymer dissolution, and techniques used to characterize the dissolution process.

Pullulan: Microbial sources, production and applications
TL;DR: This review attempts to critically appraise the current literature on fungal exopolysaccharide (EPS) 'pullulan' considering its microbial sources, structural geometry, upstream processing, downstream processing, peculiar characteristics and applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The applications of Vitamin E TPGS in drug delivery.
TL;DR: TPGS properties as a P-gp inhibitor, solubilizer/absorption and permeation enhancer in drug delivery and TPGS-related formulations such as nanocrystals, nanosuspensions, tablets/solid dispersions, adjuvant in vaccine systems, nutrition supplement, plasticizer of film, anticancer reagent and so on are discussed.
